I'm addicted to the CPU Monitor

What did I ever do without this? I've got it tucked away in the lower left hand corner, in "floating window" format. I've even learned several things:

1 Itunes playing MP3s in the background uses about 20% of the processor power.
2 Microsoft Turd for OS X hogs the processor, sometimes even in the background.
3 When a web page isn't loading, I can usually tell if it's a pipeline, or computer issue by watching the meter.

Anyway, good to be back everyone! Lurked around MacAddict and MacWorld for a stretch, but this is my first. Registered in October 1999. Yikes!

In Windows 2000 the Task Manager has a CPU Monitor built in. While I don't think it's all that useful my computer has developed an annoying habit of jumping to %100 CPU Utilization for 2-3 straight..of course this grinds everything else to a halt in the meantime. I probably have a virus or something but I'm too lazy to check.
